Thank you!!

I started upping my protein when I found that 100 calories of carbs didn't stick with me like 100 calories of protein. Another interesting fact: I tried going vegan during the day when I was cooking a lot and eating high fat dinners. I ate enough calories but I was STARVING. My appetite went through the roof. When I added…

I'm always a bit excited if I go over on my protein. (Is it just me?) Eat what you think will fill you up best for that amount of calories. Anyway, 1/2 a bagel with some peanut butter would fill you up with not a ton of protein.

One cup Go Lean with 1/2 cup of milk. Two cups of tea with milk and sugar.

The Hungry Girl butternut squash fries are AMAZING! I make them all the time.

How was it?

I have a squash just begging to be baked. Not sure about the dessert one, though! :wink:

Thanks! I have a huge crockpot but could probably make it work. I would definitely use a low sodium tomato sauce or would reduced crushed tomatoes.

I love hellmans light mayo. You could also try using yogurt instead or a light vinaigrette. I think tuna needs to be moist to be edible.

Any way you could give us some ideas of what recipes you got? (This looks suspect...)

Damn those look amazing!!!

Life is way, way too short for bad cheese. I LOVE LOVE Piavé hard cheese. It's kind of like parmesan. I also eat Babybel cheese or laughing cow occasionally in my lunch, but I prefer to make yogurt cheese out of greek yogurt as it's way less processed than laughing cow. I also save up my calories so I can have the odd…

That is so FANTASTIC! Love the before and after shots. You look stunning!

There's no way I can accurately express how much this information helps me at this point in my journey. I can't wait to see others' opinions. Thank you.

Are you able to put together some before and after photos for yourself? That would do a lot for your self confidence. Good luck, that must be really hard.

I am so in the same boat. I have made some friends but none that have been super supportive up until now...I'm still a fresh fish. I'll add you and we can support each other!!

I don't have UC but do have Crohn's disease. Luckily for me it is well managed. I am on Humira injections every two weeks and am a new woman. I do remember what it was like though when I was on the prednisone and countless other things trying to get things sorted out. It's also hard to focus on eating right when you are in…

I'm just back after an 8 week hiatus. I need all the motivation possible. Count me in!

I just made this and am FREAKING OUT IT'S SO GOOD. Unreal. You can read about my adventure here, as well as ways to make this extra special. http://anniecooks.posterous.com/one-ingredient-ice-cream-for-realsies PS: first post here. Thanks for having me.
